Bill’s Readers??

Oh, Honey… I mean Cherry, you don’t understand, do you? These are Mark’s readers… Mark’s public. Why, he can barely go anywhere without someone saying, “Oh! You’re that Mark Trail? I loved your piece on the Blind Toads of Calcutta…” Not to be confused with the Blind Boys of Alabama…

And I am quite impressed with Mark’s new-found range of non-verbal expression… No longer the Sphinx… bound by one or two facial tics… but a full range of irony and, dare I say… timing. Oh, OK, being a bit generous there, but I’m just trying to give the author half-a-hand’s worth of encouragement… Cherry seems to be enjoying herself, anyway…
